Newt Gingrich - Oct. 25th: “Twitternactment” Re-enactment of the Battle of Trenton on Twitter

To celebrate the launch of Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) and Bill Forstchen’s new book, To Try Men’s Souls, about the Christmas Night 1776 crossing of the Delaware River and attack on the Hessians stationed in Trenton, NJ, St. Martin’s Press and Gingrich Communications are excited to announce the first ever twitter reenactment of the crossing!

The “Twitternactment” will begin on Sunday, October 25th, starting at 4:30pm ET. Twitter users can follow General George Washington (@genwashington76), Jonathan Van Dorn, a private in the colonial army (@pvtvandornNJ), and Hessian commander Colonel Johann Rall (@colonelrall), as they simulate the crossing of the Delaware River and the attack on Trenton the following morning in real time.

I hate to admit it, but this is bizarre enough that I think I’ll have to tune in - or at least see how it played out after the fact :P.
